  2. Asynchronous procedure call - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_procedure_call

    The life cycle of an APC consists of 2 stages: the passive stage, when it passively waits for input data, and active state, when that data is calculated in the same way as at the usual procedure call. A reusable asynchronous procedure is termed Actor.

  3. Advanced process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_process_control

    Advanced process control (APC) refers to several proven advanced control techniques, such as feedforward, decoupling, and inferential control. APC can also include Model Predictive Control, described below. APC is typically implemented using function blocks or custom programming capabilities at the DCS level.

  4. Apcupsd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apcupsd

    Apcupsd, short for APC UPS daemon, is a utility that runs on Linux, UNIX, macOS and Windows. [1]: 1, 8–9 It allows the computer to interact with APC UPSes. Apcupsd also works with some OEM-branded products (e.g. Hewlett-Packard) manufactured by APC. [1]: 7 [2] [3] Apcupsd is a free software equivalent of the APC's proprietary PowerChute software.

    Csr are client-server functions that are used to communicate with the Win32 subsystem process, csrss.exe (csrss stands for client/server runtime sub-system). Dbg are debugging functions such as a software breakpoint. Ki are upcalls from kernel mode for events like APC dispatching. Ldr are loader functions for PE file handling and starting of ...

  6. I/O request packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_request_packet

    I/O completion is reported back to the I/O manager by passing its address to a routine for that purpose, IoCompleteRequest. The IRP may be repurposed as a special kernel APC object if such is required to report completion of the I/O to the requesting thread. IRPs are typically created by the I/O Manager in response to I/O requests from user mode.

  7. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    Floating-point arithmetic is needed for very large or very small real numbers, or computations that require a large dynamic range.Floating-point representation is similar to scientific notation, except computers use base two (with rare exceptions), rather than base ten.

  8. Instructions per cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle

    The useful work that can be done with any computer depends on many factors besides the processor speed. These factors include the instruction set architecture, the processor's microarchitecture, and the computer system organization (such as the design of the disk storage system and the capabilities and performance of other attached devices), the efficiency of the operating system, and the high ...

  9. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling.The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time.There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs.
